Dressing Alike in Russia.
The News Chronicle’s Moscow correspondent states that, in order to save money and cloth, the Soviet Readymade Garment Trust has devised a plan fc • the demoeratisation of fashions. Under the plan, all the proletarian women would be given a chance to vote for what they want to wear, pledging themselves to abide by the wishes of the majority, and ■wear the same kind of dresses, There will be spring and autumn styles available for months in advance of the season. Congresses of typists, clerks, and working women will be convened throughout Russia, at which mannequins will display six or eight revolutionary gowns on which the vote will be taken. The State Garment Trust will not make any clothes save those the majority wants. The importation of foreign fashion magazines will be prohibited, and Soviet periodicals will be obliged to reproduce only Soviet designs.
